Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of remote sensing technology, specifically relating to a method and system for calculating the full-band reflectivity radiative transfer of a double-layered vegetation canopy. Background Technology

[0002] Forests and crops typically exhibit vertical optical and structural heterogeneity at different growth stages. For vegetation canopies with a distinct two-layer structure, simulating reflectivity using a single-layer canopy radiative transfer model (e.g., averaging leaf optical and canopy structural parameters from both the upper and lower canopies) will lead to significant errors. While three-dimensional radiative transfer models offer advantages in simulation accuracy, they are computationally resource-intensive and often require a large number of difficult-to-obtain input parameters. In contrast, one-dimensional radiative transfer models are simpler, more computationally efficient, and can quickly simulate the reflectivity of two-layer vegetation canopies, and are widely used for inverting the structural parameters of two-layer vegetation canopies.

[0003] Existing one-dimensional two-layer canopy radiative transfer models are mainly based on the four-flow theory to calculate multiple scattering. This theory assumes that multiple scattering is isotropic and approximates the vegetation radiative transfer equation using four differential equations, corresponding to the flux in the direct solar radiation direction, the flux in the observation direction, and the upward and downward isotropic diffuse scattering flux, respectively. 4SAIL2 and ACRM are both two-layer vegetation canopy radiative transfer models built on the four-flow theory: first, they use eigenvector decomposition to solve the system of differential equations to calculate the scattering matrices of the upper and lower canopies separately; then, they use a superposition method to calculate the total scattering matrix of the two canopies. Building upon the ACRM framework, MRTM and AddingS recursively apply the superposition method to calculate the scattering matrix of continuous composite layers, extending the two layers into a multi-layer structure. The multi-layer canopy radiative transfer model mSCOPE is also based on the four-flow theory, but it uses a new strategy based on the superposition method to avoid the complex process of solving the scattering matrices of different layers in a vertically heterogeneous canopy. Although mSCOPE simplifies the calculation process, it only considers the vertical heterogeneity of leaf optical properties and not the vertical heterogeneity of canopy structural features. In the near-infrared band, multiple scattering from dense vegetation accounts for more than 50% of the total scattering. Therefore, accurately simulating the multiple scattering process in a two-layered canopy is crucial for improving the accuracy of reflectance simulation. When the leaf area index (LAI) is high, the assumption of isotropic multiple scattering in the four-flow theory will lead to deviations in the simulation results, making it impossible for two-layered models based on the four-flow theory to accurately simulate the reflectance of a two-layered canopy. Furthermore, the principles behind such models are complex. In contrast, the spectral invariance theory, utilizing the optical properties of leaves and spectral invariants, can efficiently and accurately simulate directional multiple scattering processes, providing a simpler and more practical framework for canopy radiative transfer modeling. This theory is currently widely used in the construction of single-layered canopy radiative transfer models and provides new ideas for extending it to the construction of more complex two-layered canopy radiative transfer models. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the problems in the background art, the present invention provides a method for calculating the full-band reflectance radiative transmission of a double-layered vegetation canopy, comprising: S1, obtaining the single reflectance of the double-layered canopy based on the bidirectional porosity theory; S2, obtaining the multiple reflectance of the double-layered canopy based on the spectral invariance theory; and S3, obtaining the total reflectance of the double-layered canopy based on the single reflectance and the multiple reflectance of the double-layered canopy.

[0005] On the other hand, the present invention also proposes a method for calculating the full-band reflectance radiative transmission of a double-layered vegetation canopy, comprising: S1, obtaining the reflectance and transmittance spectra of the upper and lower canopy leaves based on the leaf spectral vectors of the upper and lower canopy; S2, obtaining the soil reflectance spectrum based on the soil reflectance spectral vector; S3, calculating the single reflectance of the double-layered vegetation canopy using the bidirectional porosity theory based on the reflectance and transmittance spectra of the upper and lower canopy leaves and the soil reflectance spectrum; S4, calculating the multiple reflectance of the double-layered vegetation canopy and its relationship with the soil background using the spectral invariance theory based on the reflectance and transmittance spectra of the upper and lower canopy leaves and the soil reflectance spectrum; S5, merging the single reflectance and multiple reflectance to obtain the reflectance of the double-layered vegetation canopy.

[0006] The present invention also proposes a full-band reflectivity radiative transfer calculation system for a double-layer vegetation canopy, which includes a computer-executable program that performs the method described above when the program is executed.

[0007] In one embodiment, the method of the present invention uses the General Spectral Vector-Leaf (GSV-L) and the General Spectral Vector Soil Reflectance (GSV) model to calculate the leaf and soil spectra of the upper and lower canopies, respectively. It uses the bidirectional porosity theory to calculate the single reflection of the double-layer vegetation canopy and the spectral invariance theory to calculate the multiple reflections between the double-layer vegetation canopy and the soil background. This method can accurately simulate the reflectance of double-layer vegetation canopies with different leaf spectral characteristics and canopy structure features.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the CANOP model couples the Universal Spectral Vector Leaf Model (GSV-L) and the Universal Spectral Vector Soil Reflectance Model (GSV), requiring fewer leaf and soil input parameters and allowing the focus to be on retrieving canopy structure parameters from remote sensing data.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this invention include: compared with the complex principle of the double-layer vegetation canopy radiative transfer model based on the four-flux theory and the assumption that multiple scattering is isotropic, this invention uses the spectral invariance theory to calculate the multiple scattering of the directional double-layer vegetation canopy, without the need to calculate the complex layer scattering matrix, and is simple in principle and highly accurate.
